Local heroes - the importance of ULRs (DVD)Unionlearn has produced a new six-minute DVD, Local Heroes: The Importance of ULRs , which aims to encourage more people to take up the learning challenge. Watch the film below by double clicking on the play button.
In footage from the Frizlands learning centre in Dagenham, East London, learners show their surprise and delight at successfully returning to learn with the help of their ULRs . USDAW rep Hayley Pickles, from Tesco in Scarborough, says it's 'totally amazing' to see how people can progress. And ULR* of the Year Pat McIlvogue reveals how a quarter of the staff at Rolls-Royce in Renfrewshire where he works now go through courses. John Denham, Secretary of State at the DIUS*, heaps praise on the country's 18,000 ULRs . 'The one thing that is likely to get people into training is getting advice from someone they trust in the workplace - and here, ULRs can be enormously influential.' And employers speak out about the benefits, too. Alan Danson from UniChem points out how union learning can help employers by improving workplace relations. And Peter Hughes from Merseytravel calls on employers to work in partnership with the unions to improve skills.
